Photo by Andy Ryan. At the beginning of the upcoming Spring semester, Meejin Yoon is the newly minted dean of the College of Architecture, Art and Planning of Cornell University. According to the Cornell Chronicle, Yoon is the first woman named to the position since the college was formed in 1896. Based in Ithaca, New York, Cornell University is distinguished by both its relative distance to any major city and carrying the only professional undergraduate degree in Architecture among the Ivy Leagues. As a graduate of that program, Yoon quickly drew the attention of the review board for the newly opened dean position at the prestigious university. “Her time as a student at Cornell was formative," Provost Michael Kotlikoff said, "and continues to inform her work as an architect and an academic." Yoon is no stranger to hard work: after graduating from Cornell, she went on to receive a Masters of Architecture from the Harvard Graduate School of Design; then developing a practice with Eric Höweler (Höweler + Yoon Architecture LLP) while also teaching at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where she soon became the head of its architecture program.

  • Constructing Resilience: Real Estate Investment, Sovereign Debt and Lebanon's Transnational Political Economy by Julia Tierney
    Constructing Resilience: Real Estate Investment, Sovereign Debt and Lebanon’s Transnational Political Economy by Julia Tierney A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctoral of Philosophy in City and Regional Planning and the Designated Emphasis in Global Metropolitan Studies in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Teresa Caldeira, Chair Professor Ananya Roy Professor Michael Watts Professor Cihan Tugal Spring 2017 Constructing Resilience: Real Estate Investment, Sovereign Debt and Lebanon’s Transnational Political Economy Copyright 2017 by Julia Tierney Abstract Constructing Resilience: Real Estate Investment, Sovereign Debt and Lebanon’s Transnational Political Economy by Julia Tierney Doctoral of Philosophy in City and Regional Planning And the Designated Emphasis in Global Metropolitan Studies University of California, Berkeley Professor Teresa Caldeira In urban studies scholarship, Lebanon is often theorized on the frontiers of sectarian conflict as well as on the frontlines of neoliberalism. Entangling real estate investment, sovereign debt and transnational financial circulations from Arab Gulf investors and the Lebanese diaspora, managed by the Banque du Liban and scrutinized by the United States Treasury, the Lebanese political economy was – and still is – swayed by the fortunes of war. According to literature on the political economy of violence, profits are often made in times of war, a context appropriate to the civil war and postwar eras, during which spoils of war enriched the pockets of warlords-turned-politicians. Yet as the effects of the Syrian conflict spill across the border, encumbering Lebanon’s long paralyzed politics, straining its already deteriorated infrastructure and intensifying uncertainty with punctuated bombings, certain sectors prosper not because of violence but in spite of it.

    Architecture Climate Change & Society Buell Center 2020 Course Development Prize Faysal Tabbarah American University of Sharjah ARCHITECTURE AND ENVIRONMENTAL ORIENTALISM IN THE ARAB WORLD The course investigates the relationship between architectural and environmental imaginaries in the development of post-colonial architecture in the Arab World. The course integrates readings and discussions around Orientalism, Environmental Orientalism, environmental history, and colonial/post-colonial architecture in the region. Integrating environmental history methodologies into architectural discourse reveals the relationship between architecture, environmentalism and colonialism. This framework raises the following questions: What do colonial legacies have to do with environmentalism, and how does this shape Arab architecture? How do contemporary ideologies and practices of environmentalism impact Arab architecture? And finally, what are non-Western designers to do in the face of ongoing Orientalism and the climate crisis?
